Le Cercle Français - University of Sheffield French Society

We’re excited to announce the return of our annual SLC Languages Ball! More information to come in the following days.

Tickets are now live for this year’s French play! This is part of this year’s SLC Modern Languages Drama Festival - so look out for updates on the other performances too (in Dutch, Spanish & German). A webpage for all of them is currently under construction...

Back to the French play... which is Roger Vitrac’s brilliant surrealist comedy, Victor ou les enfants au pouvoir. The plot? In short:

It is Victor’s ninth birthday but he has a presentiment he won’t live beyond it. So before the day is out, with his six-year-old sidekick Esther, he will confuse, offend, ridicule and terrorize his adult entourage – starting with the housemaid Lili, his adulterous father, doting mother, and their bizarre neighbours and guests. Come and meet Victor – il est terriblement intelligent!

You can get tickets (£5) for either performance (or both!) on the Cercle Français website in the SU (links in our linktree bio!):
Here for 7.30pm Tues 18th March https://shorturl.at/he2sz
Here for 7.30pm Wed 19 March https://shorturl.at/nRHqw

The play is performed in the Drama Studio in French by students and staff from French & Francophone Studies and it runs for approx. 1 hour 15 mins.

Join us for our first event of the new semester! We’ll be painting pottery at Pots to Paint, where you can choose your own piece to decorate. Prices vary based on your selection, but typically range from £15 to £20. Secure your spot by signing up through the Linktree in our bio!

Pause Café is back! We hope your exams went well and that you had a good break over Christmas. Join us every Wednesday from 14:00 - 16:00 at Cambridge Street Collective to practice your French and meet new people 🇫🇷

Interested in being part of a French play this year? Here’s an exciting opportunity from David McCallam to get involved:

We’re launching the French play for this year - so this is a call to all would-be actors, backstage crew and general helpers from all years and all courses to come and get involved. It is great fun - you’ll work with people from all years and work lots in/with French.

Absolutely no previous experience is necessary, just a willingness to commit to regular, weekly rehearsals and to be part of a dynamic, innovative troupe!

So an initial meeting for expressions of interest and general information will take place next week - Thurs 31 Oct, 4pm, Hicks Building, Lecture Theatre A (the doors for this lecture theatre are down the hall to the left of the main entrance to Hicks).

The French play will be part of this year’s Modern Language Drama Festival, currently scheduled for two weeks in the Drama Studio beginning Mon 17 March 2025. Other languages and student societies will also be putting on shows.

Hope to see lots of you there next Thursday!

and are coming together for a cheese and wine night!

We’ll be providing a variety of food (including cheese, pizza, bread, and snacks) but kindly ask that you bring your own wine and drinks to enjoy throughout the evening.

Tickets are available in our bio!

See you all on Thursday 🇫🇷 🇮🇹

Pause Café now at Cambridge Street Collective! Join us at the UK’s Food Hall of the Year 2024 to try an exciting variety of food and drinks. À mercredi 🇫🇷

Pause Café is back at Ambulo Café! We will also be handing out your pre purchased DYSO tickets, so make sure to come by and collect yours too!

While the Pause Café is a free event to attend with LCF, we kindly ask that you purchase a drink or a snack in support of the café, as they are letting us attend there free of charge. Merci beaucoup et à bientôt! 🇫🇷

Our theme for DYSO is to wear an outfit featuring blue, white, and red!

Purchased tickets will be given out during this week’s Pause Café!

See you on Thursday at Revolution for the start of DYSO! 🇫🇷
